Reviews
"While the film remains a respectable thriller, only Ryan's crafty, quietly deranged performance lifts it out of the ordinary."—Dave Kehr, Chicago Readerhttp://www.chicagoreader.com/chicago/crossfire/Film?oid=1071783"Dealing with racial bigotry, this tense thriller combines a message drama with the stylistics of film noir, resulting in one of the best films of the 1940s, with top notch work from Robert Mitchum and Robert Ryan."—Emmanuel Levy, EmmanuelLevy.comhttp://www.emanuellevy.com/search/details.cfm?id=780
